This protocol is for making complete media suitable for culturing tenocytes tendon cells.
Suitable for cell culture.
2 a semi synthetic solid medium containing sucrose as c source and nitrate as the sole source of nitrogen useful for the general cultivation of fungi yeasts and soil bacteria.
Add the correct amount of pre warmed culture media using serological pipette.
Based on count and viability data seed cell suspension for an appropriate flask and density e g.
T175 30ml at 2e4 cells cm2.
Then resuspend cells in sterile media to a suitable volume for counting.
As the cells are in 100 ml media the next calculation is.
Cell culture cell culture is one of the major tools used in cellular and molecular biology providing excellent model systems for studying the normal physiology and biochemistry of cells e g metabolic studies aging the effects of drugs and toxic compounds on the cells.
Check which culture media and culture supplements the cell line you are using requires before starting cultures.
Consult abcam counting cell using a hemocytometer protocol.
2 cryopreservation 2 for cell culture.
Presence of serum in the media has many drawbacks and can lead to serious misinterpretations in immunological studies 2 3 a number of serum free media have been developed 4 5 these media are generally specifically formulated to support the culture of a single cell type such as knockout serum replacement and knockout dmem from thermo fisher scientific and mtesr1 medium from stem cell.
This will give a value for the volume of media the cells should be in.
